About INTERPOL<br />
Created in 1923, INTERPOL is the world’s largest international police<br />
organization. Its mission is to assist law enforcement agencies in its<br />
186 member countries to combat all forms of transnational crime.<br />
INTERPOL provides a high-tech infrastructure of technical and operational<br />
support to enable police forces around the world to meet the growing<br />
challenges of crime in the 21st century. The Organization focuses on six<br />
priority crime areas: corruption; drugs and organized crime; financial and<br />
high-tech crime; fugitives; public safety and terrorism; and trafficking in<br />
human beings.<br />
The General Secretariat is located in Lyon, France, and operates 24 hours a<br />
day, 365 days a year. INTERPOL also has six regional offices across the world<br />
and a representative office at the United Nations in New York. Each of the<br />
member countries maintains a National Central Bureau staffed by highly<br />
trained law enforcement officers.
